Bůh
Pán je samotná láska, vyjádřená ve formě samotné moudrosti. Láska je tedy Jeho podstatou, Jeho nejskrytější. Moudrost - milující pochopení toho, jak uvést lásku do činnosti - je o něco více vnější a dává lásce způsob, jak se vyjádřit.
Když Bible mluví o „Jehovovi“, představuje to nejhlubší lásku, která je podstatou Pána. Tato láska je jedna, celá a úplná sama o sobě a Jehova také je jedno, jméno aplikované pouze na Pána. Moudrost je však vyjádřena v celé řadě myšlenek a myšlenek, které spisy společně nazývají božskou pravdou. Existuje také mnoho imaginárních bohů a někdy mohou být andělé a lidé nazýváni bohy (Pán řekl, že Mojžíš bude Aaronem jako bůh). Takže když Bible nazývá Pána „Bohem“, ve většině případů se to týká božské pravdy.
V jiných případech „Bůh“ odkazuje na to, čemu se říká božský člověk. Je tomu tak v případě:
Jako lidské bytosti nemůžeme Pána přímo zapojit jako božskou lásku. Je příliš silný a příliš čistý. Místo toho musíme k Němu přistoupit tím, že Ho pochopíme skrze božskou pravdu. Božská pravda je tedy Pán v lidské podobě, forma, ke které můžeme přistupovat a porozumět mu. Tak se „Bůh“ používá také ve vztahu k tomuto lidskému aspektu, protože se jedná o výraz pravdy.

Arcana Coelestia # 9167
9167. '[To see] whether or not its owner has put his hand into his companion's property and taken it' means being joined together under [the influence of] good. This is clear from the meaning of 'whether or not he has put a hand into his companion's property' - when said in reference to truth and good, exterior and interior - as whether these have entered into it, dealt with above in 9155, thus whether those things have been joined together under [the influence of] good (as regards being joined together under [the influence of] good, see 9154); and from the meaning of 'owner' or 'master' as good, dealt with in 9154, so that 'whether or not its owner has taken it' means whether good has made those things its own by being joined to them. The reason why 'owner' means good is that with a spiritual person good occupies the first place and truth the second; and that which occupies first place is the owner. Furthermore the character of the good determines the way in which all the truths present with a person are arranged, as a house by the owner or 'lord'. 1
[2] This explains why 'lord' in the Word is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Good, and 'god', 'king', and 'master' to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, as in Moses,
Jehovah your God, He is God of gods, and Lord of lords. Deuteronomy 10:17.
In John,
The Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings. Revelation 17:14.
In the same book,
He has on His robe and on His thigh the name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Revelation 19:16.
The fact that the Lord is called 'God' in respect of Divine Truth, see 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 4402, 7268, 8988, and also that He is called 'King' in respect of Divine Truth, 2015 (end), 3009, 3670, 4581, 4966, 5068, 6148. And from this it is evident that the Lord is called 'Lord' in respect of Divine Good; for when truth is referred to in the Word, good as well is referred to, 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2618, 2712, 2803, 3004, 4138 (end), 5138, 5502, 6343, 8339 (end). In John,
You call Me Master and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. I your Lord and Master have washed your feet. John 13:13-14.
Here again the Lord is called 'Lord' by virtue of Divine Good, and 'Master' by virtue of Divine Truth. In Malachi,
Suddenly there will come to His temple the Lord whom you are seeking, and the angel of the covenant in whom you delight. Malachi 3:1.
In these words which refer to the Lord's Coming He is called 'the Lord' by virtue of Divine Good, and 'the angel' by virtue of Divine Truth, 1925, 2821, 3039, 4085, 4295, 6280.
[3] This explains why in the Old Testament when people entreat the Lord they very often say Lord Jehovih, by which 'O Good Jehovah' is meant, 1793, 2921, and why in the New Testament the name Lord is used instead of Jehovah, 2921. From all this one can also see what the following words in Matthew are used to mean,
No one can serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other ... Matthew 6:24.
'Two lords' are good and evil. For a person must be governed by good or else by evil; he cannot be governed by both simultaneously. Many truths can reside with him, but they are truths arranged under the influence of one good. Good constitutes heaven with a person, whereas evil constitutes hell. He must have heaven within himself or hell, not both, or something half-way in between. All this now shows what 'lord' or 'owner' is used to mean in the Word.
Notas de rodapé:
1. The Latin word rendered owner is dominus, which in other contexts is usually rendered lord. The phrase also involves a play on words which might be rendered as a house by a householder (sicut a domino domus).
